David Seals, age 63 of Smyrna, died Monday at his home surrounded by his family. He was a native of Sparta, Tennessee and a son of the late Thurman Seals and Nora Knowles Seals. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Ray and Carroll Seals.

Mr. Seals was an electrician and owner of Seals Electric Lighting and Sign Company. He previously worked as a paramedic at Arnold Air Force Base as well as Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you hug your family members and tell them you love them. An online guestbook is available for the Seals family at www.woodfinchapel.com.
I have worked with David for over 30 years now starting with when we were both working at Rutherford County EMS until more recently with his sign business. It was always the highlight of my day to have a chat with him. May he be in peace now.

David was a good magnanimous member of the Smyrna family. I will miss his personality, his bright mind, and his sense of commitment.

Jean and family. As we stated earlier, our hearts are broken. I know you will find comfort in your many special memories and in all the happy years your shared. We loved David and he will be missed by all his many special friends and loved ones. He was truly an unique individual...one of the smartest men we have known. We were so fortunate to be able to call him brother-in-law and friend. We will cherish all the wonderful times we shared and he will live on in our hearts forever.
